With Dortch graduated, and Reed returning a strong core of five seniors, the Raiders are hoping to be one of the teams to beat this spring.
"We've got five seniors and they all get along. We've got great, great senior leadership," Reed softball coach Jon Wunder said. "In girls sports, chemistry is everything. Right now, it looks like we've got really good chemistry."
Ace pitcher Shivaun Landeros will anchor that group of Reed seniors. Landeros is also a strong two-way threat. Last year she batted .406, scored 32 runs and drove in 19 RBI.
"We fully expect her to carry the load this year," Wunder said. "She's worked hard all offseason. Every time I drove by here, she was out here working out. I expect big things from Shivaun."
Her battery mate, senior catcher Makaela Moore, returns to her spot behind the plate.
Senior infielders Andi Lee and Cori Gammon will be back at third and second base respectively, and Hannah Martini will roam the outfield.
Reed has four of its five first team all-league honorees from last year returning this season. Moore, Landeros, Lee and junior outfielder Mary Dettling all received first-team selections.
Dettling led the team in most offensive categories. Her .452 batting average, .517 on-base percentage, .625 slugging percentage, 47 hits, 34 runs, 27 RBI and eight doubles were all tops on the Blue and Gold.
A pair of Raiders second teamers are also back, Gammon and sophomore Megan Dettling.
Of Reed's 14 players, 11 are returners. The only everyday starter Reed graduated from a year ago was standout pitcher Destinee Levesque. Tyler Sumpter also did not come back due to a stress fracture she suffered during the basketball season. However, Wunder believes junior Danaya Thompson will do a good job manning first base in place of Sumpter.
Another new face in the infield will be Laura Frost. A utility player last season, Frost will be the starting shortstop.
"Based on what I saw Saturday, that is a great move," Wunder said. "She did really well."
Joining Mary Dettling and Martini in the outfield will be junior Lindsay Yearman and sophomore Megan Dettling. Megan Dettling will also see time in the pitcher's circle.
"I would match our speed in the outfield with anybody," Wunder said.
But it's the pitching that has Wunder especially excited. Newcomer Jacquelin Sertic pitched eight of 14 innings during Saturday's scrimmages. The sophomore allowed two hits and struck out nine.
The Raiders have a fourth pitcher in sophomore Marriah Levesque, the younger sister of Destinee.
"We have four kids who could probably pitch for just about anyone around here," Wunder said.
Wunder expects to be challenged by Manogue, Spanish Springs, Damonte Ranch and Carson for the regional title, much like last season.
It's not just the potential for success that has Reed excited for this softball season, but a new field is currently being constructed on the Reed High campus. Work on the dugouts started Monday and progress is coming along. Wunder said weather permitting, the team will host games on the field in mid-April.
Reed will compete at the Victory Pre-season Tournament in Sacramento this week. The Raiders open the tournament Thursday night at 6:45 p.m. against Oakmont. On Friday, they will take on Righetti at 5 p.m. and Spanish Springs at 6:45 p.m.
Wunder believes the trip will be a good team-bonding experience.
"It's early but we've got great team chemistry," Wunder said. "It starts with the seniors, and we've got a great group of seniors. I think the younger kids feed off that. They're very helpful. They look forward to Sacramento. It's a great opportunity for them all to get to know each other. I tell them we're only going to go as far as you take us as a group. If we have in-fighting, then we're going to have problems. We're not seeing that."
Reed's league opener is at Douglas on March 15th.

September Ambassador
Students are "number one" with Betty Edwards, secretary in Tennessee Technological University's Golden Eagle Marching Band office, says band director Joseph Hermann. That earned her the university's Ambassador of the Month Award. "What remarkable devotion!" says Hermann. "Betty recently became ill and was truly more concerned about having our work done than she was for her own recovery. She returned after 10 days' absence and was 100 percent dedicated to all of the preparations that had to be made so that everything would be ready for the students." Nomination forms for Tennessee Tech's Ambassador of the Month are available from the Office of Personnel/Payroll.

Im not really a huge x and o type of guy( i'd love to be ), but the eye test is what i use most. Am I crazy or was the loss of Dane Fletcher in the preseason vastly underrated. Think about it, undrafted small school monster stats defensive end in college , who Bill converted to a linebacker (aka Bills science project.) Excellent coverage linebacker who covered for mayo's absense in the past. Played fairly well against the ravens. A poor man's teddy bruschi.

Good in coverage. Good sub player. The Pats have enough LBs who can stop the run (Mayo, Spikes, Hightower) and you always need players that can cover well in certain packages.

Personally based off his play two years ago I thought that he became totally lost as the year went on and eventually was benched during the Buffalo game late in the season. Spiller made a fool of him in coverage (as I'm sure he does to most linebackers), but still it wasn't the only time he was exposed that season. I can remember him early in the season looking like he was going to blitz, then thinking twice about it, then deciding not to, only to stand there and cover no one.
I really think while it's nice to want to cheer these players on and hope for the best, sometimes it isn't warranted. This guy wasn't exactly big, fast or productive for us BEFORE the major knee injury...I don't think he makes the roster next year.
The guy that I find myself pipe dreaming about right now is Armond Armstead.

He's better as a sub role player than a starter.

Yeah maybe. If it weren't for the knee injury, I could see that.
What does the knee injury have to do with the idea he's not a starter, but an effective 3rd down sub coverage LB?We have no idea how his recovery has been and how he'll look in 2013.
You seem convinced the knee definitively has him doomed.
I'm just kidding silly! What I did was understand what he was before the injury (not very good), then I added a devastating knee injury into that equation. It came out like this...
Not very good=Not very good
Not very good+devastating knee injury=less than not very good
^^That help?

Well what I did was factor in how the lack of available natural cloved garlic was affecting the global economy, then I apllied a frayer method to how many Italians would be directly affected by this. Then I immediatly thought that a guy named Dane Fletcher clearly is not Italian - therefore he has never had to deal with the garlic struggle...which obviously will not condition him for the disadvantage he now faces. I mean could it be any more clear?
for a second there I thought Laz was back

In response to rkarp's comment:
Fletch may have been one of he better Pats coverage LB's(along with White), but he is medicore, not excellent. Carpenter was the sub coverage LB that should have been kept imo.
Opinions are what they are just that opinions. Here is a question... if Bobby Carpenter was so good in pass coverage this past yearwhy didn't some other team pick him up?
the point being Fletch was not "excellent" in coverage, and to compare him to Bruschi (also weak in coverage) is simply not accurate
posted at 1/31/2013 7:16 AM EST
good question. injury? salary demands? lack of special team ability? I saw a lot of spring camp and preseason games and thought he should have made the team. clearly Koutivedes and White are special team favorites of BB, perhaps that is the reason?
I will reserve comment on Koutivedes, White and Fletcher. All I can say is Bobby Carpenter was let go by BB and the other 31 GM's and coaches didn't see any value in his ability... that is all i am saying.
preseason LB's I thought he should have made the team, although White didnt play a lot this preseason. I dont know the reason why he was cut, why he wasnt picked up by another team.
posted at 1/31/2013 8:16 AM EST
are you sure that Carpenter didnt decide after the rigors of camp he didnt want to play this year?
All I can go by are the facts... Bobby Carpenter was cut by NE and 31 other teams didn't pick him up.
posted at 1/31/2013 8:45 AM EST
yes I know. did you see him play in the spring? any preseason games? do you have an opinion on it, now that you saw how the Pats LB's were in sub coverage this year?
Yes I did see him play in training camp, I saw him in pre-season and saw his limited time during the season and my opinion was his only strength was his coverage ability and that was for lack of a better word, okay. I don't think it was that spectacular that it made up for his limited skills in the rest of his game. Based on the fact he was let go and not picked up by any other team his value wasn't that great for his suppossed strenght in coverage. That is just an opinion based on the facts that actually played out.
were you impressed with the Pats LB's coverage this season? I thought the LB coverage was so weak, that S help was absolutely needed, leaving the CB's with late or no S help at all.
Granted, Mayo "improved" to adequate. Spikes "improved" to below average. Hightower was a liability in the passing game. Hard to ask a LB to be great at everything, and I do think overall Mayo is great, Spikes very good, and Hightower will be very good, but in obvious passing downs, these guys, and White were exposed.

How is he "not very good" if you said "I could see that" in agreement with me as him being effective as a sub player as an LB?
Sweet backpedal.
For a minute there I could have sworn Mt Hurl was in his prime contradicting himself yet again, simply unable to get himself to saying anything remotely positive about any Pats defender.

I thought Fletcher was a nice story and decent depth LB but I do not think he is the solution to the LB coverage problem that the Pats have. I like him and White, but saying they are the Pats best coverage linebackers is scary! I hoped they would find one in last years draft, and while I understand why they couldn't pass up on Hightower's talent, I thought from a team need they might have overpaid in terms of draft capital by selecting him. I am not sure who is out there as FA and I have no idea yet on draft possibilities but I hope a fast coverage LB is high on their list.

Pet poisons bloom everywhere in the springtime
hose fragrant flowers, budding shrubs and lush green grass in the yard might look bright and pretty, but they also have a dark, ugly side - they may be sickening, or even killing, your pet.
Springtime is an especially dangerous season for curious pets who unknowingly nose around in plants that are poisonous if ingested and the fertilizers used to help them grow, so pet parents must take precautions, animal welfare advocates warn.

A book about a rescue dog
that will touch your heart
is a nonfiction book about Samantha, an unwanted rescue dog who the author adopts at age 2. This nicely designed
full-color book
, by longtime newspaper journalist and MySetterSam.com publisher Joseph A. Reppucci, contains more than
60 beautiful color photos of dogs
to help illustrate the compelling and uplifting story of Samantha - a pretty tricolor bird dog who uses her warm personality to win people over and build a new family after being put up for adoption by a hunter because she is gun-shy and afraid to hunt. Learn how she uses her special bonding abilities with people to help her eventually make a transition from the hunting fields to family life.
While reading the The Hunt of Her Life, you will travel with Samantha and the author along a trail filled with surprising twists, sudden turns, mystery and even what some call a miracle. And when the journey is finished, you may never look at people and their pets, motherhood - and perhaps even God - in the same way. The vibrant color photos are carefully positioned throughout the book so you can see images of Samantha and other dogs as you are reading about them, making the story and dogs come alive!
Pet enthusiasts will appreciate the deep bond shared between this unwanted rescue dog and the book's author. Their unique closeness helps Samantha to twice defy certain death. Mothers will be touched by the relationship that the author has with his own mother. Their connection helps him to overcome many frustrations and deal with overwhelming odds in his suspenseful nationwide "hunt" to try to locate the unknown birthplace and family roots of his unregistered rescue dog after she eventually succumbs to illness. Those who like suspense will be intrigued and fascinated by the crafty investigative journalism techniques the author uses to try to uncover his dog's family tree. And everyone will be in awe as they come to realize that God all along has been providing a guiding hand in Samantha's journey through life and astonished when they ultimately learn about the mystical gift at the end of this rescue dog's trail.
The Hunt of Her Life is must reading. It will take you on a captivating journey - a trip like no other - that will touch your heart.
What they are saying:
wonderful journey made all the more remarkable by the determination of the author to honor his beloved English Setter and her bloodline. Twist after twist, turn after turn, you're never let down as The Hunt of Her Life proceeds toward its uplifting conclusion. Vivid photos complement the intelligent narrative. Don't forget the tissues, but don't worry - there's plenty to smile about, too."

"Spring represents a time of growth and renewal, but not everything that springs forth this season is good for dogs," Liam Crowe, a dog behavioral therapist with Bark Busters training company, states in a media release. "With a little awareness and a few simple precautions, dog owners can prevent many of the problems that arise with warmer weather and keep their dogs safe and healthy."
Inquisitive dogs might mistaken fragrant spring blooms for tasty snacks, but many plants are toxic and can cause severe illness, or even death, if ingested, according to Bark Busters.
Lawns treated with fertilizers, herbicides or insecticides pose danger for dogs, so keep pets off them until these potentially toxic treatments have completely dried, Bark Busters advises.
The American Veterinary Medical Association also warns about the many potential hazards that spring ushers in for pets, which include the household cleaners used for the seasonal spruce-up of homes and yards.
"Spring cleaning is an annual tradition in many households, but make sure the cleaning products don't hurt your animals," AVMA states in a media release. "If the label states 'keep pets and children away from area until dry,' follow those instructions carefully, and store all chemicals out of reach of children and pets."
AVMA says pet parents should especially beware of the following springtime hazards:
Rhubarb leaves.
Rhubarb, a staple in many vegetable gardens, makes a fine pie, but the leaves are poisonous and can cause kidney failure.
Lilies are a flower common in the spring, and they are very toxic to cats. But cats will often chew them, and even small amounts can lead to kidney failure and death.
Coco bean mulch.
The fragrant spent shells of coco beans are commonly used to mulch gardens. But like chocolate, dogs like to eat them and they are toxic.
Lawn fertilizers.
They are very toxic to pets. Store them in a place far from where your dog or cat can get at them. After applying fertilizers to a lawn, follow the manufacturer instructions regarding the period for keeping pets off. Abide by signs posted on lawns that tell you to keep your pets off.
Pesticides and herbicides.
Even if not lethal, they can cause long-term health problems. Studies indicate the use of pesticides and herbicides may be tied to increased rates of specific forms of cancer in dogs. If your pet is exposed, wash them with soap and water immediately and call your veterinarian.
Rat and mouse poisons.
Controlling vermin becomes an issue again in the spring. Be aware that the same properties of common rat and mouse poisons that make them irresistible to pests will also attract pets. These poisons can be fatal to pets.

The city of this name mentioned in Scripture lay on the confines of Phrygia and Lydia, about 40 miles east of Ephesus (Rev. 3:14), on the banks of the Lycus. It was originally called Diospolis and then Rhoas, but afterwards Laodicea, from Laodice, the wife of Antiochus II., king of Syria, who rebuilt it. It was one of the most important and flourishing cities of Asia Minor. At a very early period it became one of the chief seats of Christianity (Col. 2:1; 4:15; Rev. 1:11, etc.). It is now a deserted place, called by the Turks Eski-hissar or "old castle."

Tale of the tape
AFC Championship Tale Of The Tape: New England Patriots Vs. Denver Broncos
|The Patriots come into the AFC Championship after dominating the Colts with their running game. However, don't think for a second that Tom Brady is going to dial it down against the Broncos. The loss of Denver cornerback Chris Harris (ACL) means the Broncos could be vulnerable in the secondary and Brady won't hesitate to go after any perceived weakness.
|Peyton Manning has an opportunity to go to his third Super Bowl, and while he had a sensational year that included a record 55 touchdowns passes, he is under significant pressure to bring the Broncos their first championship since John Elway retired. Manning should be able to find open receivers against a New England defense that ranks 22nd overall.
|When Bill Belichick realized the Colts were going to have a tough time against the run, he unleashed a shocking ground attack that produced six touchdowns in the divisional playoffs. LeGarrette Blount (four TDs) is a power runner who can break away if he gets to the second level. Wideouts Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola are both elusive runners after the catch.
|The Broncos were also productive on the ground in their divisional playoff victory over the Chargers. Knowshon Moreno will test the New England run defense. Wide receivers Eric Decker, Wes Welker and Demaryius Thomas have the ability to overwhelm any secondary and the Pats appear quite vulnerable in that area. Tight end Julius Thomas is a dangerous playmaker.
|The Patriots played an opportunistic game against the Colts, intercepting Andrew Luck four times and putting pressure on him throughout the game. Rookie outside linebacker Jamie Collins asserted himself in the playoff win with six tackles, an interception and a sack. Defensive end Chandler Jones had a team-high 11.5 sacks this year.
|The Broncos could be in trouble because their defense may not be up to the task of slowing down Brady and the versatile Patriots. The loss of linebacker Von Miller (ACL) and Harris leave the Broncos in a weakened condition. Outside linebacker Danny Trevathan led the team in tackles with 128 and is a nasty hitter. Shaun Phillips led the Broncos with 10.0 regular-season sacks.
|The Patriots have had a very strong season on special teams as their coverage has been consistent and Blount has the ability to break big returns. However, punter Ryan Allen suffered a shoulder injury vs. the Colts, and it appears PK Stephen Gostkowski will handle the punting chores if Allen is not healthy.
|Special Teams
|The Broncos have the ability to break any game open if return specialist Trindon Holliday breaks into the open on a punt or kickoff return. Their punt and kickoff coverage has been ordinary. Placekicker Matt Prater made 25-of-26 FG attempts this season.

Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA)
What Is ENDA?
The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) is a bill that would prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. ENDA creates what no other law currently does: express protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in the workplace. It is similar to protections under existing federal discrimination laws that protect other classes of workers on the bases of sex, religion, race, and ethnicity.
Despite the highest levels of public support for protecting LGBT people in the workplace fewer than half of state governments protect LGBT workers, which is why we need clear federal protections for workers based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
But Aren't There Already Federal Protections for LGBT People?
In April 2012 the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued a precedent-setting case, Macy v. Holder, that interpreted existing laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex to also prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sex stereotyping (believing a man must be masculine and a woman feminine, for example). However, the ruling could be reversed by the Supreme Court or the EEOC itself. Legislation like ENDA is a more permanent solution to protecting LGBT workers.
ENDA's History
ENDA was first introduced in Congress in 1994. However, different versions of employment protections for lesbian, gay, and bisexual people had been around since the early 1970's. At the time ENDA was first introduced it included only protections for LGB people. In 2007 gender identity protections were added to ENDA for the first time. At the time there was concern from some advocates and legislators that the gender identity provisions would prevent passage of the bill. While the gender identity provisions were dropped, with significant controversy in the community, ENDA still died in the Senate and did not become law.
An inclusive ENDA was reintroduced after the 2008 elections by Rep. Barney Frank. While we garnered tremendous momentum in 2009, the year ended without passing ENDA and securing workplace protections for LGBT people(although the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Act was passed and signed into law that year).
On November 5, 2009, the Task Force submitted testimony to the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee's hearing on ENDA, on the heels of the testimony submitted September 23 to the U.S. House Committee on Education and Labor In December 2009, the House Committee on Education and Labor postponed a mark-up of ENDA. Several organizations, including the Task Force, issued a joint statement to express outrage over the postponement and urged Congress to continue moving forward with ENDA after the stall. The bill was again reintroduced in 2011 by Senator Merkley (OR).
If you'd like to read a more detailed history of ENDA and other employment protection legislation check out the full story by clicking "History of Nondiscrimination Legislation" link in the sidebar at the left side of this page.
Moving Forward...
The Task Force continues to fight for an inclusive ENDA to provide clear employment protections for LGBT workers under federal law. In January 2012 the Task Force brought in 300 citizen lobbyists to urge their Senators to support and take action on ENDA as quickly as possible. The Senate scheduled a hearing on ENDA in June 2012, and we submitted testimony.The Task Force testimony underscored the critical need to pass ENDA and the particular impact employment discrimination has on transgender people. It includes personal stories of workplace discrimination against LGBT people and statistics on the prevalence of such discrimination from our groundbreaking report, Injustice at Every Turn: A Report of the National Transgender Discrimination Survey. A 2007 analysis from the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law found consistent evidence of bias against LGBT people in the workplace. The analysis found that up to 68 percent of LGBT people experienced employment discrimination and up to 17 percent had been fired or denied employment. If you haven't already taken action to support ENDA, sign our petition and contact your elected officials.

The following appears at the beginning of the February 12, 2013, revision to the Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in HIV-1-Infected Adults and Adolescents.
The following key changes were made to update the March 28, 2012, version of the guidelines.
Drug-Resistance Testing
In persons failing INSTI-based regimens, the panel now recommends that a genotypic assay for INSTI resistance should be performed to determine whether to include a drug from this class in subsequent regimens (AII). Previously, the Panel recommended that INSTI resistance testing should be considered (BIII) in this setting.
Co-Receptor Tropism Assay
A genotypic tropism assay is now commercially available. The assay predicts HIV-1 co-receptor usage based on sequencing of the V3-coding region of HIV-1 env, the principal determinant of co-receptor usage. The Panel recommends that a genotypic tropism assay be used as an alternative to a phenotypic tropism assay before initiation of a CCR5 antagonist-containing regimen (BII).
Initiating ART in Treatment-Naive Patients
The Panel has updated its recommendations on initiation of ART in treatment-naive patients. The Panel's recommendations are listed below.
What to Start: Initial Combination Regimen for Antiretroviral-Naive Patients
The following changes and updates were made to this section:
Acute and Recent (Early) HIV Infection
Additional Updates
Minor revisions have also been made to the following sections:

Dr. Martin knew collaboration with a community hospital was important to begin the program. He approached Dr. Sandra Cuzzi, a Children's National hospitalist who sees patients at Holy Cross Hospital. Holy Cross is one of the busiest birthing centers in metropolitan Washington, DC, and is in close proximity to Children's National. Dr. Martin and Dr. Cuzzi introduced the idea to the leadership at Holy Cross.
Soon the team began working with the staff in the newborn nursery at Holy Cross and the institutional review board (or IRB) at Holy Cross. Dr. Martin and Elizabeth Bradshaw, a nurse brought on board to oversee the CHDSP research and program development, sheparded the project through the development and approval process. In January 2009, the study began and newborns at Holy Cross received pulse ox test before they left the nursery. The research study identified several babies with CHD before they left the nursery and when it was complete Holy Cross decided to make pulse ox screening standard of care.
The Child Health Advocacy Institute and clinicians at Children's National's Heart Institute share the ultimate goal of making screening for congenital heart disease a standard practice for all newborns. The team created a toolkit that nurseries may use to start a screening program in their nursery. This toolkit has been sent to over 200 hospitals, associations and advocates both nationally and internationally who have expressed interest in improving detection of serious CHD.
In October, 2010 the Health and Human Services' Advisory Committee on Heritable Disorders in Newborns and Children recommended to Secretary Kathleen Sebelius that CCHD screening become a part of the recommended uniform screening panel. In fall 2011 the Secretary supported this recommendation. The American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology, American Academy of Pediatrics and March of Dimes all endorse CCHD screening. Dr. Martin and Elizabeth have participated in associated advocacy and scholarship activities.
If you are a clinician interested in beginning a CHD Screening Program in your hospital, or an expectant parent interested in finding a hospital that provides this test, please contact Elizabeth A. Bradshaw, MSN, RN, CPN for more information.

A little-known rule change that allows companies to contribute fewer dollars to pension funds is signaling just how meaningless the retirement vehicle has become.
"This proves that pensions are pretty much dead," said Greg McBride, chief economist at Bankrate.com. "The change is just another charade to mask the underfunding of pensions and increases the odds of having less money for retirement."
"It's not necessarily the immediate end of pensions but it's not good for them and it's certainly a bad sign," McBride added.
The pension change was part of a transportation bill—called Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century or MAP-21—passed by Congress last June. The change became mandatory this year.
In essence, MAP-21 lets employers put less money in their pension plans by allowing them to value their liabilities— what they have to pay out to pensioners—using a 25-year average of interest rates instead of current rates.
When interest rates are low, like now, pension plan liabilities are estimated to be higher and companies have to put in more money. When rates are higher, the liabilities are figured to be smaller and employers' contributions are less. The 25-year average is expected to be at least 2-3 percentage points higher than rates today.
The reduced amount that companies will be putting in has to be figured out by each firm based on the higher rates. But Madison Pension Services, a consulting firm, has reported that some minimum pension contributions in 2012 were reduced by 33 percent.
Employers are not required to offer pension plans, but the government encourages them to do so by offering tax breaks. For 2012, the tax subsidy for private and public retirement plans was $135.8 billion, the largest of all federal tax expenditures, according to the Pension Rights Center, a consumer advocacy group.
But the number of workers with pensions has been on a steep decline. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 18 percent of full-time private industry workers had a defined pension benefit in 2011—down from 35 percent in 1990.
To end pension obligations and escape from having to keep throwing money into pensions that may be underfunded, many firms, including General Motors and Ford, have offered lump-sum payouts to retirees.
"Companies want to get away from pensions totally," said Steve Pavlick, worker benefit specialist at the law firm McDermott Will & Emory.
"It's costing them a lot to come up with the cash to fund these plans and it's adversely affecting them, especially now with these lower rates," Pavlick said. "Most companies don't want to fund them in the future and aren't offering them anymore to new workers."
What's replaced pensions since the 1990s have been the employee contribution model like 401(k)s, which are now the main form of retirement plans offered to workers.
(Read More: How to Lose $90,000 on your 401(k))
But pensions are still a key source of income for many current retirees, according to the Pension Rights Center. The group said that only 52 percent of seniors receive income from financial assets—and half of those seniors receive less than $1,260 a year from Wall Street.
And Social Security payments to retirees average only $15,179 a year, roughly two-fifths of their earnings before retirement.
(Read More: 4 Ways to Maximize Your Social Security Benefit)
The Pension Rights Center calls for more pension funding, not less.
"While the Pension Rights Center is sympathetic to business concerns, we believe that Congress must strike the right balance between giving employers a break on making pension contributions and protecting the pension fund and workers' and retirees' long term security," the group's executive vice president, Karen Friedman, said on the center's website.
Getting long-term pension security won't be easy. The government likes the current change as much as companies do.
Pension contributions are not taxed until benefits are paid to retired workers. As such, the government is literally counting on money from the lower contributions by assuming it will get more tax revenues from higher wages of current workers—wages given instead of pension contributions.That money (a projected $9.5 billion over 10 years) is targeted for highway construction and student loans.
The MAP-21 rule on pensions is supposed to phase out, but Pavlick said plans are underway to get it or something like it extended.
"There's a lobbying effort to make this type of change permanent," he said. "It's clear that companies would rather have the higher interest rates and figure their pension contributions on such a plan."
While current pension holders seem likely to escape the fallout from the contribution cuts, analysts say future retirees with pensions will have to figure on fewer dollars.
(Read More: Six Signs You Could Retire Early)
"People getting pension checks this week or next month won't be affected," McBride said. "It's the young person of today that has to worry about getting full pension benefits when they retire."
While MAP-21 might not be a final nail in the coffin for nongovernment pensions, experts say it does mean future retirees face an even tougher struggle to survive.
"Pensions are just not relevant anymore," said Pavlick. "Companies feel overregulated and can't afford them. In today's world, pensions are relics."

Rated 5 out of 5 by Greg Only Tentlight For 4 Months! Worked great, even in the cold, and never changed the batteries once! Packs up perfectly, no way to accidentally turn it on when its closed, hook system is effective and simple. April 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kathryn Perfect for me! I left my headlamp at home and just took this little lantern on a recent 152-mile trek. It's made out of a durable plastic, so it's lightweight, and the batteries remained strong for the entire 9-day trip. It was excellent for lighting up my two person tent and for night hiking. I love the triple settings of lantern, flashlight, or both. The lantern setting gives off a soft light perfect for mucking about the tent, organizing gear, & cooking. While looking over maps & reading, I set it to flashlight & hung it from the top of the tent. Since I don't think headlamps are that comfortable for more than a few minutes, I'm going to be sticking with this little lantern from now on! January 12, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Nicholas A Step Down from the Apollo Lantern The Orbit Lantern is a cross between a flashlight and a camping lantern. The Orbit is relatively small, making it convenient to pack on backpacking trips and can also be used on the trail. I would describe the lantern as flimsy as it doesn't feel very durable. The lantern is powerful enough to light up your tent but doesn't provide much light for a campsite. The flashlight is a step down from a headlamp. If you just want something small to illuminate your tent, the Orbit Lantern is fine but if you want something to light up your campsite, I'd recommend purchasing the Apollo Lantern instead.

For the second time in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference dual season, the Southwest Minnesota State University was defeated by criteria by a Top 25 team.
After seeing an 18-9 lead with three bouts remaining evaporate against No. 19 Augustana on Jan. 18, the Mustangs were robbed of the upset by Upper Iowa on Friday in the PE Gym after a pin and decision in the final two bouts tied the dual at 18-18. Upper Iowa took the dual on account of a 35-31 edge in match points.
Travis Peralta scored a 4-0 decision for the Mustangs at 184 to give SMSU an 18-9 lead, but Carl Broghammer answered with a second-period pin of SMSU's Micah Larson in the next match. In the 285-pound bout, Upper Iowa's Jeremy Brazil scored a slim 3-2 decision to tie the bout and earn the victory for the Peacocks (7-4 overall, 4-1 NSIC).
No. 5 Justin Reinsma scored SMSU's first match win of the dual with a 3-2 decision over No. 2 Trevor Franklin at 133, while Jacob Begin used a riding time advantage to pull off an 8-7 upset decision over No. 4 Wade Grobin at 165.
The Mustangs (11-4, 1-3) will hit the road in hopes of removing the bitter taste from their mouths following Friday's defeat. SMSU travels to Mankato to take on No. 10 Minnesota State-Mankato tonight.

Jul 18, 2011
While administration officials project an economic catastrophe if the debt limit is not raised by Aug. 2, many Americans do not see this deadline as a major problem. Four-in-ten (40%) say that, from what they've read and heard, it is absolutely essential that the federal debt limit be raised by Aug. 2 to avoid an economic crisis, while about as many (39%) say the country can go past this date without major economic problems.
By a 53% to 30% margin, most Republicans say that it will not be a major problem if the debt ceiling is not raised by Aug. 2. The balance of opinion is the reverse among Democrats: 56% say it is absolutely essential to meet that deadline to avoid an economic crisis, 28% say it is not. Independents are more divided, though a slim 43% plurality say the country can go past Aug. 2 without major economic problems, while 32% say it is essential to raise the debt limit by this date.
The new survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, conducted July 15-17 among 764 adults, finds that Tea Party Republicans are by far the most unconvinced about the potential fallout from going past the Aug. 2 deadline. Fully 65% of Republicans and Republican leaning independents who agree with the Tea Party see no major problems if this occurs, compared with 45% of Republicans and Republican leaners who do not agree with the Tea Party.

If you think only women fuss about getting decked out for weddings, reconsider that thought! Now with widening choices in males's wear, men too are certainly not far behind in doing up themselves and searching their best suits for men at weddings, be it their very own or someone else's. The important rule to recollect while putting on a costume to attend someone else's wedding is one must never steal the show on the groom himself. Suits in dark colors being the safest bet, must be chose whenever questionable because this classic look never does not hit the mark. Whether or not this's your personal wedding however, be ready for being dressed to kill. Elegance and comfort include the key issues all grooms must be aware of within their wedding attire. Wondering what what you can do in males's wedding attires are? Here are some of the options:
oFrocks Coats
oTail coats
Suits: In order to look crisp and classy, suits are definitely exactly what you need focus on. Suits which have been slightly modified in to the wedding versions are certain to cause you to be look sizzling on the big day. Suits that happen to be crafted from exquisite and sometimes extraordinary materials may look delicate but are actually very tough and durable. Go for lighter colours like light beige or sparkling white for ceremonies which are stuck the morning while darker colours could be ideal for those in the evening.
Frock Coats: If you are not too tall or too big built, frock coats will be the optimal selection for you. Extremely popular days, fashionable and classy men were seen to wear frock coats everyday rather than just on special evening occasions. Comparing mens wedding suits and frock coats, one notices which the jackets of frock coats are slightly longer then your former, although are both usually made from a similar material.
Tuxedos: Tuxedos are fantastic for men who are on the well made side. So if you possess a frail frame, make sure you stay away from tuxedos. Black tuxedos look the best and they are teamed with satin clacks and striped pants. Wear this for ceremonies going on during the night or late evenings and add zing on your special day!
Tail Coats:
Though a rather backdated style, tailcoats are an additional choice look at for ones special day dress. The defining feature of such tailcoats, will be the prominently longer back areas of their jackets, resembling the design of the swallow bird and it is tail, and so the name. Tailcoats such as the frock coats look top in black teamed with striped pants.
Dressing Using the Climate:
Weddings that take place during summers or at warm locations must have your daughter's groom dressed in light colored suits. These suits should also preferably be produced of linen or seersucker the light thin fabric. Saying `I actually do' in colder climates however, requires the groom being dressed in warmer clothes. For example woolen suits, teaming a navy blazer with charcoal colored pants or even a blazer worn spanning a sweater and tie.
A crucial thing to see about in the context of wedding suits for men attires is wearing a tuxedo before 6 in the evening is often a major faux pas. Produce a style statement using your wedding attire keeping these technicalities planned. Your wedding day day is something you will retrospect upon forever, so be sure to look your stylish best!


text: My collector has been vented and sun shadded all summer and has not expereinced any deterioration. I would rather a copper colector than the pex but fear the hot cold cycle may fatigue the sweat joints and the panel may fail. Its also set at 70 degrees from horizontal for low summer gain and max winter gain. It takes no time at all to heat up a 20 gallon tank of water to 120 degrees, Im actually considering installing an old cast iron radiator in my basement to pump the test collector water thru for added heat benifit, again more experimentation.
